God will come when he feels you are ready.
Hello Val
The harder that you try to do something it can become like trying to catch butterfly's - illusive.
Stop trying to listen with your rational mind, meditate/pray for the sake of closeness %26amp; then you will be able to hear your spiritual mind.

I think the main thing of it would be to calm your mind, to relax, slow down, and simply let if happen. if you try too much or get impatient it won't work.
listening to God is a difficult practice. however, it simply means, stop talking, stop thinking your way, and listen to his teaching. i tend to focus only on his word and then i hear him give a better answer than the one i was thinking. his way usually implies peace.
You have not fully been brain washed to start to hear voices in your head.
In the Bible (any one will do), read 2 Corinthians , Chapter 5, verse 21.
However, in order to understand what it means, you need to accept Jesus as your Savior.

Be STILL and know that I am God.
Quit thinking....breathe and be still for awhile.
Be patient and don't expect voices. God can speak to you any number of ways. Just be open to the possibility that He is speaking to you through not only the Bible but other people, circumstances, your own intuition, etc.
Do you want spiritual advice or religious advice ...
Because it sounds like you want religious advice ...
I can help with the spiritual... not the religious ..
Pray that he will bring you into his presence. Be patient and wait.
Until then go by the Word.
God very rarely talks with his voice, it is just too powerful for our human bodies. He uses those around you and life circumstances to teach and guide you. So it is not likely that the angel of the Lord is going to come down to your room to talk to you.
Listening to God is arguably the most frustrating issue for a Christian because we try to drive the response rather than waiting for it. Many a time there is not even an echo!
I once had to wait almost 6 months for an answer to a query - God's time, not ours!
Sometimes I am woken up in the small hours to receive a Rhema text that provides full answers.
I also find that it depends on what it is that you are asking. I have asked for immediate help, commanding it in the name of Jesus and, it happened there and then!
Other times I have to be patient.
What I find most important and provides the best results is to stop praying for what you want/need and, separating your circumstances, just praise and worship God through Jesus. Use this action even if you are just feeling down for the day etc.
God inhabits the praises of His people so you are very likely to receive a huge response after worshipping! Most of us do!
Do you fast to increase your spiritual awareness and closeness to God? Most of our church have just come off a 21 day fast with amazing results.
HTH :)
